What's really neat about this selection are the contrasting white needles at the tips of stems against the older dark green needles, which gives a frosted look as though the plant were covered in snow. The white foliage is especially intense during the fall and winter. Though not necessary, a light shearing in late winter encourages a fresh flush of new white growth and maintains a more dense plant. Small, thimble-sized cones are produced on older plants. Gentsch White is an excellent low-maintenance evergreen conifer to brighten up a partially to fully shaded spot, and is sure to be a conversation piece in the landscape.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the 1960s by Otto Gentsch of Long Island, New York, USA\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing slowly in a mounded to 5 to 6 feet tall and wide at maturity, the Moon Frost Canadian Hemlock is ideal for use as an accent in small to medium size shady garden spaces, or in containers.

It will handle the morning and evening sun but appreciates some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon hours. Even all-day shade is fine. Whether growing in the ground or in pots, constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic, so plant in a well-drained site or pot and avoid overwatering. Provide only enough water to keep the soil damp to moist. Established plants have moderate drought tolerance and will only require an occasional drink during prolonged periods of drought. Maintenance is minimal. No pruning is required though a light shearing in late winter will encourage a heavier flesh of fresh white new growth in early spring that persists through the season and intensifies even more in fall and winter. Like all hemlocks, which are under-story trees, this conifer should not be allowed to dry out during prolonged heat and drought during summer. Heat, especially when combined with full sun, will scorch the white growth for which this wonderful conifer is prized.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant \u0026amp; Care For Canadian Hemlocks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan\u003eContact Us\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48147217449114,"sku":"D2LSC 478147463","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/tsuga-canadensis-gentsch-white-canadian-hemlock-4.jpg?v=1779959567","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/gentsch-white-frosted-dwarf-canadian-hemlock-tsuga-7-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
